Bike to Work Day press coverage

Press coverage of Bike to Work Day was phenomenal this year – from general coverage to personal stories, the media was happy to report on this huge, healthy, Bay-Area-wide event. SVBC managed to get quite a few nods, too. Here are some highlights:

Joe Rodriguez talked about his own conversion to bike commuting in the Mercury News:

Five years ago, a young woman crashed into my car and accidentally turned me into a full-time bicyclist. If I could find her today, I'd thank her for countless hours of pleasure over a cup of coffee, so long as the cafe is near a bike route to work.

De Anza College's La Voz made it out to the City of San José/SJSU Energizer Station, where they ran into a familiar bike commuter:

Executive director of Silicon Valley Bike [sic] Coalition Corinne Winter met commuters at the downtown San Jose energizer station, one of dozens of booths set up along bicycle commuting routes. These stations provided food, safety tips and tune-ups to new and long-time cyclists.
